==Summary==
*The Wizard Tower is a [[Defensive Buildings|defensive building]] that looks like a spiraling, cone-shaped tower of rock, then later a crystal like rock that has a [[Wizard]] on the top of it. It is capable of inflicting powerful splash damage to both [[:Category:Ground Troops|ground]] and [[:Category:Air Troops|air units]], though it is limited to a relatively short range.
*The Wizard Tower, like the [[Mortar]], excels at mowing down entire groups of [[troops]]. However, unlike the Mortar, it has a relatively decent damage per second (making it more effective against higher health troops like [[Giant]]s), and it will target air troops in addition to ground troops. Also unlike the Mortar, the Wizard Tower has no blind spot.
*Although the arcane blasts from the Wizard Tower do less damage per shot than the Mortar, it makes up for this by having a much higher rate of fire. This makes the Wizard Tower an excellent choice for defending other structures by blasting troops that get too close.
*The Wizard Tower can target both ground and air troops but can only damage either ground or air with each shot (not both). For example, if a Wizard Tower targets a [[Giant]] with some [[Balloon]]s on top, only the Giant will be damaged, and vice versa.

==Strategies==
===Defensive Strategy===
*An excellent defensive strategy for the Wizard Tower is to put it near your [[Town Hall]], because of the Wizard Tower's splash damage and a relatively high rate of fire. However, due to its limited range, it is sometimes more desirable to put the Wizard Tower near the inside of your village. 
**However, at higher Town Hall levels, it might be good to put the Wizard Towers on the outside of the base to clump up troops and damage tankers.
*Putting your Wizard Tower and [[Bomb Tower]] next to your [[Resource Buildings|storages]] is an excellent method of protecting them against hordes of [[Goblin]]s due to their splash damage and fast attack speed.
*The Wizard Tower is a very important defense at Town Hall 5 & 6 due to the prevalence of Giant-related attacks at those levels. It also counters [[balloon]] spamming very well. 
*Wizard Towers and [[Mortar]]s are quite complementary, as they can each cover the other's weaknesses.
**An example of a Wizard Tower-Mortar combination: the Mortar can cover a very large range so attacking units will have reduced health by the time they come into the shorter range of the Wizard Tower, which helps finish them off. In exchange, the Wizard Tower defends the Mortar by destroying units that cannot be attacked by the Mortar (all air units and ground units inside the Mortar's minimum range).
*Try putting Wizard Towers near [[Air Defense]]s, along with [[Air Bomb]]s to take out [[Balloon]]s. The Wizard Tower works well against Balloonion (Balloon + [[Minion]]). Put it near a Mortar and a storage to protect against various attacks.
**However, at higher levels and on war bases, this is not recommended since Wizard Towers will get caught on [[Lava Hound]]s, allowing supporting Balloons to obliterate your defense. Instead, focus on separating the two for allowing them to attack what they counter. Keep the Air Bombs with the Wizard Towers, and keep the Wizard Tower away from your Air Defense.
*A single Wizard Tower can obliterate groups of [[Giant]]s stuck behind a {{H|Wall}}, almost always dealing massive damage altogether because a Wizard Tower's splash radius and the Giant's slow attack combined with medium-low DPS would be another deciding factor.
*The Wizard Tower can be sniped by the [[Grand Warden]], so players with Town Halls 11 and above should be wary of this. Placing them near the edge of the placeable area prevents this range advantage from being easily exploited by the Warden, but may leave them to be easily picked off by other units.
*Wizard Towers, along with multi-targeting [[Inferno Tower]]s, are one of the best counters to [[Bat Spell]]s at Town Halls 10 through 12. Leaving too many Wizard Towers close together and/or exposed can open up your base for a Bat-based attack, especially if you decide to set some or all of your Inferno Towers to single-target mode.
**However, try not to put Wizard Towers next to multi-targeting Inferno Towers, because a single [[Freeze Spell]] could freeze both of these defenses, which are vital for defending against [[Bat Spell/Bat|Bats]].

===Offensive Strategy===
*For attacking, use some units to distract it ([[Giant]]s or [[Barbarian]]s) and destroy it with [[Archer]]s, [[Minion]]s, or another ranged [[troops|troop]]. Melee troops like Barbarians or Giants can destroy a Wizard Tower by themselves if there are enough of them, but because these troops must attack while physically touching the Wizard Tower (and are therefore grouped up), the Wizard Tower can usually destroy the entire group fairly quickly.
*When deploying units, be careful to ensure that they won't get into a clump as they come into range of the Wizard Tower (e.g. attacking a [[Gold Storage]] that's near a Wizard Tower), because the Wizard Tower will destroy the group very quickly.
*Using [[Healer]]s can support groups of Giants or other troops that would otherwise take severe damage from the Wizard Tower. Note, however, that this combination is ineffective if an [[Inferno Tower]] is in range or the Wizard Tower is capable of destroying your troops in one shot.
**[[Healing Spell]]s can also work in a similar manner, and unlike [[Healer]]s, they can also affect air troops. This is quite useful when using [[Balloon]]s.
*Taking out Wizard Towers can be tricky despite their relatively short range. It is often a better tactic to avoid them entirely by attacking a part of the village that is not covered by them. To quickly destroy a Wizard Tower, deploy a few Giants as a distraction while Archers, [[Wizard]]s or Minions take out the Wizard Tower. Deploy troops in a circle around it since this will limit its ability to take out multiple troops with splash damage. Dropping 1 Giant and surrounding the Wizard Tower with about 10 housing space of troops will generally be sufficient to destroy it.
*Wizard Towers that are on the outside of a base can be easily taken out with multiple small troops. At higher [[Town Hall]] levels, a single [[Balloon]] or [[Rocket Balloon]] can be quite effective provided that no {{H|Traps}} or {{H|Hidden Tesla}}s emerge.

==Upgrade Differences==
The Wizard Tower undergoes significant visual changes at all levels except 2 and 13.

*When initially constructed, the Wizard Tower appears to be solid gray rock in a pyramid-like shape.
**At level 2, the lower portion of the tower just barely begins to show [[Resources#Elixir|Elixir]]-colored pink crystals, much like the level 6 [[Walls]]. This can be seen if you look zoom in closely enough but can be easily missed. The shape of the rock also changes slightly. 
**At level 3, the crystals become much more visible.
**At level 4, some of the gray rock higher up the tower turn into crystals, and begin spiraling around the tower.
**At level 5, the entire base of the tower is crystalline, with only the top portion of the tower remaining gray rock.
**The level 6 Wizard Tower has no gray rock left. The entire tower is now constructed of pink crystal, resembling a gigantic level 6 Wall.
**At level 7, the crystal structures grow prominent upward spikes surrounding the platform, and the entire tower darkens to a dark purple, appearing very much like a giant level 7 Wall.
**At level 8, the podium on which the [[Wizard]] stands becomes far wider and more jagged. The spikes melt into the tower and it has stone pillars on each side, making eight stone pillars in all. It also has embers floating around the base, indicating a lava source beneath. The embers and the lava source may also be referred to as the [[Town Hall]] is at least level 10, its Town Hall level requirement. It is also slightly darker.
**At level 9, the stone pillars turn and join into quartz and extend throughout the perimeter of the top of the Wizard Tower. 
**At level 10, a new white stone platform is erected at the top, replacing the purple crystal summit. More pillar structures have been put in place beneath to fortify and support the new platform.
**At level 11, the platform appears to be marble white with purple and golden outlines; the small gaps in the platform have been filled with purple as well. The main pillar structures turn to metal with golden decorations and golden top; and the internal structure (that was once white) turns pink-purple.
**At level 12, the tiling changes to a slightly cracked blue stone. The gold on all 4 supporting pillars is gone, along with the circular wall at the top as well. The ring that shows at the base of where the main pillar is visible is now darker, octagonal, and at the edge of the foundation below it. The shards at the bottom now have no gaps between them, and in between the supporting pillars is a purple slab with a V/U shaped hole in it. Along the hole, there is gold trim.
**At level 13, the spot where the supporting pillars meet with the octagonal ring are reinforced with gold, and the purple slab is now shorter along with the trim becomes a plating extending further into the hole.
**At level 14, the blue stone on the tower's top is changed to bright green, with the gray stone pillars becoming slightly brighter, gaining a golden top, becoming slightly thicker and reinforced just below the top. The purple meander pattern is replaced by a stripe-like slab around the sides of the tower, with the base of the pillars now getting a different golden trim.
**At Level 15, the green stone on the tower's top change into black stone with light blue cracks in between each of the stone tiles. The gold supporting pillars turn purplish-black and become sharper, with thin gold edges. The overall body of the tower also changes, with the base crystals becoming slightly brighter, and the tower having grey supports, along with gold stripes, grey reinforcements, and a glowing blue core.
**At level 16, the pillars are replaced with tree roots, with two small tree branches both with two leaves. the crystals at the bottom become purple brown. the platform in which the wizard stands on is now white with gold and red wooden frames.
**At level 17, 

*The [[Wizard]] atop the tower also changes with the tower's level. He himself shoots the projectile that is fired by the Wizards of the level he resembles. For example, level 1 Wizard Tower housing a level 1 or 2 Wizard would fire fireballs, while level 5 Wizard Tower that has a level 5 Wizard would purple lightning bolts, and a Level 9 Wizard Tower with a level 7 Wizard would fire purple bolts.
**When first placed, the Tower Wizard appears as a level 1 (or 2) Wizard.
**At level 3, the Wizard atop the tower changes in appearance to that of a level 3 (or 4) Wizard.
**At level 5, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 5 Wizard.
**At level 7, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 6 Wizard.
**At level 9, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 7 Wizard.
**At level 11, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 8 Wizard.
**At level 13, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 9 Wizard.
**At level 14, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 10 Wizard.
**At level 15, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 11 Wizard.
**At level 16, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 12 Wizard.
**At level 17, the Wizard changes its appearance to that of a level 13 Wizard.

==Trivia==
*You do not need to unlock or train a [[Wizard]] in order to construct a Wizard Tower. The level of your army's Wizards, if you have them, do not affect the appearance or abilities of the Wizard atop the tower.
*When you begin an upgrade on a Wizard Tower, the Wizard on the top will disappear after a few minutes and will not reappear until the tower has finished upgrading.
*The Wizard Tower, {{H|Wall}}s, {{H|Cannon}}, {{H|Archer Tower}}, [[Mortar]], and {{H|Air Defense}} are the oldest defenses in the game.
*While you are moving the Wizard Tower, the Wizard on the top disappears. This also happens when viewing the info screen.
*At levels 1 to 4, Wizard Towers' fireball have a somewhat slow travel time, meaning that it is possible for all troops to avoid the fireball.
*The Wizard Tower will not hold a Wizard when its health is being regenerated by the Ley Lines upon logging in following an enemy attack.
*Strangely, normal Wizards have a powerful attack, the while those atop the Wizard Towers have a much weaker one. They make up for this by having much greater hitpoints and a larger splash damage area than the Wizard troop.
*Both the level 13 Wizard Tower and the level 9 [[Bomb Tower]] have the same exact damage per second, being 84.
**However, the main difference is their attack speed and hitpoints.
*The Wizard Tower and the [[Scattershot]] are the only defenses not to have a navy blue spike on it at a Town Hall 13 level. The [[Air Sweeper]] does not have a Town Hall 13 level at all, so it does not count.
*The Wizard and the Wizard Tower are both first unlockable in Town Hall Level 5.
